"Pain is a given. To be human and alive exposes you to the experience of pain...pain is not really the problem...it is our relationship to pain, and in particular our mental habits and how we do or don't make space for pain, that makes all the difference."
"The ractical task of psychoanalysis is to identify, describe, and over time to transform the unconscious modes of coping with pain that we learned very early in life..."
Both quotes are by Jeffrey L. Eaton, who practices psychoanalysis and psychotherapy in Seattle
